What are your general comments?

i didnt know much about UIC coming into the interview, and was quite impressed by the school. the information presentation was ok, but the tour was good--given by M4's--which included a question/answer/advice period. my interview was with an M2 and an admissions officer (not an MD or PhD), but others had an MD or PhD plus a med student. the whole day was pretty relaxed and quite informal. ask a lot of questions...

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
